I've got a Data General Aviion 4000 here if anyone wants it.

Must be able to pickup from the SE suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

It's a large tower case, so it's easy enough to move but too big for me to
ship. Alternatively I'll consider stripping it if you need parts.

As far as I know it has 2 Motorola 88k CPUs, a 1.2GB HDD, a 525MB tape
drive. If the HDD hasn't been erased it should still have DG-UX 4.32 on
it. It has a multiport serial card in one of the VME slots, but I don't
have the breakout box.

There are a couple of catches...

The NVRAM is dead. All but 1 of the SIMMs has been removed and some of the
SIMM socket retaining clips were broken by whoever removed the SIMMs. The
one remaining SIMM is not enough for the system to run, I get a fatal
memory error on power up. It uses 80 pin SIMMs which I assume are DG
specific (DEC 80 pin SIMMs will not work).

I could use the HDD in another system, so if you want the HDD left intact
I'd like another drive to replace it.
